eLua reference manual - elua module

Overview

This module is an interface to the core system and services of eLua. Some functions from this module can change the runtime behaviour of eLua, which in turn can lead to instability or unexpected program behaviour. Use this module with care.

Functions

mode - the EGC operation mode. Can be either elua.EGC_NOT_ACTIVE, elua.EGC_ON_ALLOC_FAILURE, elua.EGC_ON_MEM_LIMIT, elua.EGC_ALWAYS or a combination between the last 3 modes in this list (they can be combined both with bitwise OR operations, using the bit module, or simply by adding them).

memlimit - required only when elua.EGC_ON_MEM_LIMIT is specified in mode, specifies the EGC upper memory limit.

Returns: nothing.
